ATTACK OF THE GREED-HEADS

Using Iraqi oil as a " bargaining chip " - the War Party goes commercial

No wonder all those crunchy-granola kids hate capitalism, or think

they do. Getta loada this from today's [september 15] Washington Post:

" Although senior Bush administration officials say they have not begun

to focus on the issues involving oil and Iraq, American and foreign

oil companies have already begun maneuvering for a stake in the

country's huge proven reserves of 112 billion barrels of crude oil,

the largest in the world outside Saudi Arabia. "

Oh, they just can't wait to get their greedy little hands on all that

oil, can they? Undeterred by even a modicum of decorum or subtlety,

these pigs can hardly restrain themselves from smacking their fat

greasy lips as Dubya revs up his death machine. Has a more

unappetizing display of pure evil ever displayed itself so

shamelessly? Tens of thousands of casualties, billions in tax dollars,

an economic shock that could send the U.S. economy into a tailspin -

and for what? So that Big Oil can reap what the Post refers to as a

" bonanza. " A U.S. invasion, we are told, would succeed in " scuttling

oil deals " between Baghdad and Russia, France and other countries. The

competitive advantages of this war openly touted by that tireless

warmonger, former CIA director R. James Woolsey:

" France and Russia have oil companies and interests in Iraq. They

should be told that if they are of assistance in moving Iraq toward

decent government, we'll do the best we can to ensure that the new

government and American companies work closely with them. If they

throw in their lot with Saddam, it will be difficult to the point of

impossible to persuade the new Iraqi government to work with them. "
